Judge Kelly was on the bench ready
for buinesS; BaZ Armstrong, wearing
latest style collar, had the roll of grand
jurors ready to proceed; and the wheels
of Justice would have been set in motion
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning had it
not been for the hardness of some of the
members of the jury. E. n. Brown sent
word that he was sick and unable to
appear. and he was excused. Col. AL
warren Allen said that he was sixty
seven years of age, and on that account,
being exempt, was excused. j. b.
IIoXie and +. b. Doran were absent and
attachments were ordered. At about
1880 Judge Kelly began his charge to
the grand jury. He first appointed
William Is. Dean foreman, then read
from the statutes the duties Of grand
jurors. These finished, he expressed
regret that he was unable to make their
duties light unfortunately the serious

most dangerous violations of law. Not

but let all men understand that the
laws must be respected and obeyed.
After the charge the jury held short
session and then adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning, when they will
begin work in earnest. After the re-
tirement of the grand jury the weary
and monOtonOus work Of calling the cal
endar was begun, and it will probably
not be finished before tonight. Baz
Armstrong and j. p. Davis, the deputy
ri ~ tga9rrllS, assumed
COMFORTABLE POSITIONS
behind the clerks desk and attended
strictly to business. c. A. Severance
unbuttoned his coat and vest and
awaited the call of the cases in which
his firm is interested, with lOok-at-the-
number-of-cases-we- air. J. W.
Willis adjusted his gold spectacles
we'll up on his nose and looked straight
at the calendar during the entire day
L. Z. Sanborn sat in an obscure corner,
but he had the floor good portion of
the time. j. J. McCafferty had some
thing TO say as the cases were called.
and he said it i'll that majestic manner
peculiarly his own. j. f. Fitzpatrick
occupied one of the benches outside the
railing, but he had something to say oc-
casiOnally. o. NJ. Metcalf, when he was
not busy, was asleep on one Of the
benches. 5. l.. Pierce seemed anxious
to get to the fray. He could hardly wait
until his cases were called. Edwin
Gribble had business in the court room,
but when he was not busy he seemed
interested in watching the others. E. st.
Julien Cox captured seat well up
toward the desk, and when he was on
his feet he suecumbed to the Judges
rulings with his natural grace. II. J.

ner. l.. NJ. Villas was as conspicuous
among the other attorneys. He has
number of cases on the calendar. E. E.
Mcdonald sat through the whole day
with a smile upon his face. He always
enjoys himself. j. E. Markham locked
satisfied with the number OF cases he
had on the calendar. 0. E. Holman was
busy part of the time. c. II. Fauntleroy
enjoyed the proceedings in true old
Virginia style. Hon. w. p. Murray in
sisted on sitting at the deputy sheriff's
chair. He was busy as well as T. d.
O'Brien in looking after the city's cases.
j. Il. Brisbin seemed as spry as his
younger brethren when his cases were
called. i. Ii. Scriber was one of the
youngest of the attorneys present, but
he had several cases to look after. l.. !.
DObner forgot about the school board
and thought only of law. o. K. Sauer
was there nearly all day waiting for his
chance to talk. Henry Johns looked as
happy as though he was on a trip to
Fargo with the st. George Snowshoe
club. There were many other LAWYERS

enjoy the weary task hugely. One thing
noticeable was the large number of the
younger members of the profession who
have cases on this calendar.
UNHAPPY FAMILIES.
The llabeas corpus proceedings in the
divorce case of Mary johnson against
l.. N. Johnson were partially argued be-

each time the husband has put i'm
